This lets me see not only how far I’ve co me\, but how some things haven’t changed much at all. The technique used in the older black & white pieces is “woodcut collage” printed by han d on Japanese paper. Interim works combine woodcut collage with acrylic pa int on canvas. The newest works are digital photo collage\, either on pape r or canvas. \nTHEN \\ NOW focuses on relationships—with the individual self & with family members—being a wife\, mother\, sister\, daughter\, cousin—& the struggle to maintain that individual spirit within\, as out er needs from others become more complex. This exhibit is about finding & expressing Self-Love\, celebrating creativity from that deep meditative we llspring found inside each of us. Thank you one & all for hearing me out & seeing these pieces of myself needing to be revealed. \nGALLERY HOURS\nMo nday – Friday 10AM-4PM \nAbout Jan Smith Castronuovo\nJan earned two mas ter’s degrees from the University of Wisconsin—an MS in Industrial Tec hnology\, UW/Platteville (1980)\; & an MFA in Printmaking\, UW/Madison (19 86).

Artist's Sta tement:\n \n\n\nI photograph what's close to home. You don't need to trav el somewhere famous to find something worth stopping for.  A heron workin g the shallows\, a fox crossing a field at first light\, the few minutes w hen the sunrise turns the sky pink. Most of this work comes out of early m orning walks with a camera\, going slowly and just looking around. My work is about paying attention to the ordinary places we drive past every day. \nArtist Bio:\nI've lived in Westchester most of life and have been photog raphing its birds and wildlife for over twenty-five years. I'm self-taught \; everything I know came from walking the same places over and over\, in every season and every kind of light\, and learning what each one has to o ffer. Most of these photographs were taken close by - Marshlands Conservan cy\, the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary\, Silver Lake Preserve\, and Mal fitano Park in Harrison.

The intent is to reflect where\neach artist is in their practice at this parti cular moment. These pieces come from current series\, ongoing explorations \, new directions\, and ideas still unfolding. What happens when we enter our studios? What are we thinking about\, experimenting with\, returning t o\, or trying for\nthe first time? What is inspiring us now? By opening ou r doors\, we invite visitors in. Together\, these works offer a snapshot o f the artists who are creating at Bethany today. These individual practice s are brought together by a shared place\, creative energy\, and community . \nAlso join us in viewing our collaborative installation! This installat ion celebrates the beauty of being different while still being\ntogether. Fifty 5 × 5-inch wooden panels were donated and distributed to artists in our community. The only requirement was simple: make sure it is in your v oice and create something that is uniquely you. Displayed together\, these individual works become one collective\nartwork. It is a moment in time t hat captures who is here now and what each person brings to this community . There is something special about the way we show up at Bethany for ourse lves\, for our work\, and for one another. This installation is a celebrat ion of that shared experience and of the many different creative voices th at make this place what it is.

Squillante hopes th e exhibition allows viewers to stop and look slowly\, feel the landscape ’s quiet architecture\, and enter a shared act of seeing.\nBrown takes t he process of making work as his sculptural focus\, rather than beginning with an image or narrative. His pieces are coiled\, paddled\, cut\, and wo od fired. After completion\, the array on view here reminded Brown of the Carrara marble quarries photographed by Edward Burtynsky.\nJoseph Squillan te has photographed the Hudson River since 1975 in fine-art and documentar y style\, capturing the river’s beauty\, challenges\, and champions whil e raising public awareness for the river as a critical natural resource. I n 2026 ArtsWestchester honored Squillante with its Artist of the Year awar d and in 2025 the Hudson River Museum celebrated his 50-year milestone wit h the retrospective exhibition Lens on the Hudson.\nJoel Brown’s ceramic design is rooted in his study with Stanislawa Nowicki at the University o f Pennsylvania over 50 years ago. His undergraduate degree was followed by a master's in architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. For his ceramic influences he credits the Peters Valley School of Craft\, workshops with Peter Callas and Joyce Michaud\, and Steven Hill ’s Journey Workshop. He gained wood-firing experience at the kilns of Ro ger Baumann\, Dan Greenfeld\, Kristin Muller\, Peters Valley\, and others.

Guest Curated by Artist-in-Residence Alvaro Vi lla\, Breana’s work features multi-layered and textured surfaces\, with colorful motifs and imagery that shape a personal narrative. Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260822T062112Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:RAC Artist Member Event: Artist Bio and Artist Statement Explained DTSTART:20261001T150000Z DTEND:20261001T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260811T020054Z UID:204981@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Artist Bio and Artist Statement Explained - October 1\, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM\n\n\nInformational session on understanding why they are im portant and their role in the submissions process. Led by Jill Parry\, ar tist and curator of Gallery B.\n\n\nPlease provide your information below and you will be contacted for confirmation.

Guest Curated by Artist-in-Residence Alvaro Vi lla\, Breana’s work features multi-layered and textured surfaces\, with colorful motifs and imagery that shape a personal narrative. Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260827T061802Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What’s It Like for You to Be an American? — Robert Kalman DTSTART:20261002T150000Z DTEND:20261002T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260910T120050Z UID:206476@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\nPhotographs by Ro bert KalmanSeptember 15 – October 11\, 2026\nChroma Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\, a solo ex hibition by photographer Robert Kalman\, on view September 15 through Octo ber 11\, 2026.\nFollowing the events of January 6\, 2021\, Kalman began tr aveling across the country asking people a seemingly simple question: “W hat’s it like for you to be an American?” Each participant sat for a f ormal portrait made with an 8×10 large-format camera and was invited to w rite their answer on a single notebook page.\nTraveling approximately 20\, 000 miles across the country\, Kalman made nearly 500 portraits.

Guest Curated by Artist-in-Residence Alvaro Vi lla\, Breana’s work features multi-layered and textured surfaces\, with colorful motifs and imagery that shape a personal narrative. Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T182341Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Dance Back to School DTSTART:20261003T140000Z DTEND:20261004T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260901T002610Z UID:205686@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:dance DESCRIPTION:Education\, performance and outreach shape the mission of the Steffi Nossen School of Dance and Dance Foundation\, celebrating its 90th anniversary teaching dance in Westchester.\nHere pre-schoolers through pre -professionals and adults\, can chose from a a variety of dance styles inc luding modern\, ballet\, jazz\, tap\,  creative movement\, and afrobeats.

Rain Date: 1 0/4\nRegistration not required.\n \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residence Yanme i Jiang for The Dungan Garden: Inside the Somatic & Geological Process\, an Open Installation at BAC’s ARToberfest.   \nVisitors will be in vited for a walkthrough of the three-dimensional canvas installation\, whe re she will introduce the creative process behind the work and discuss the relationship between body\, landscape\, and material. Engage in informal conversation and get to know Yanmei’s work. Free and open to all.  \n ——  \nThe Dungan Garden series explores how a landscape\, specifica lly a lotus pond\, can be expressed through the simplest possible gesture: the horizontal stroke inspired by Chinese calligraphy\, and the dripping guided by gravity.   \nDuring Yanmei’s residency\, she is developi ng a triptych paintings installation. Displayed individually\, the thr ee panels will form a three-dimensional spatial installation that can be e xperienced within a studio or public space.  \n“’Dungan’ means slo wer sensation and heightened awareness of time. For me\, this is not a sta te of numbness\, but a way of slowing down in order to become more atten tive to subtle changes in the body\, nature\, and time. Through repeated b ut never identical horizontal gestures\, I explore how a simple mark can c arry movement\, breath\, memory\, and the experience presence.”  \nFor this site-responsive work\, I will be inspired by the colors and visual qu alities of the autumn woods at Bethany as a reference\, allowing the local landscape to inform the development of the painting. The lotus is deeply embedded in East Asian artistic traditions\, while water has long function ed as a space of reflection\, transformation\, and impermanence. I am inte rested in bringing this cultural image into dialogue with the cultural liv ing landscape of Bethany.”  \n\nABOUT YANMEI\nYanmei Jiang is a New Yor k-based visual artist whose practice explores the concept of the “body a s archive\,” developing embodied memory through large-scale abstract pai nting rooted in muscle memory. Spanning site-responsive abstract painting\ , spatial installations\, and photography\, her work has been exhibited in ternationally\, including solo exhibitions at Gallery 456 (New York) and R ay Art Center (Shanghai). She holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2023) and has participated in residencies at the AnkhLave Arts Residency on Governors Island (2025) and ChaShaMa (2023). Deeply engaged with place and materiality\, her painting practice utilizes whole-body movement and u nprimed canvases to create suspended spatial environments\, inviting viewe rs into an immersive experience and a slow pace of time. \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Annual Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. As p art of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a C ommunity Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both art ists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in c onversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free enga gements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partners.  \nLearn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Reside ncy here! \nBAC’s 2026 Fall Multidisciplinary Residency is made possible with support from New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, Westchester C ounty Board of Legislators\, ArtsWestchester and Westchester County Gove rnment.

Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260910T002651Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What’s It Like for You to Be an American? — Robert Kalman DTSTART:20261004T150000Z DTEND:20261004T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260910T120050Z UID:206478@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\nPhotographs by Ro bert KalmanSeptember 15 – October 11\, 2026\nChroma Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\, a solo ex hibition by photographer Robert Kalman\, on view September 15 through Octo ber 11\, 2026.\nFollowing the events of January 6\, 2021\, Kalman began tr aveling across the country asking people a seemingly simple question: “W hat’s it like for you to be an American?” Each participant sat for a f ormal portrait made with an 8×10 large-format camera and was invited to w rite their answer on a single notebook page.\nTraveling approximately 20\, 000 miles across the country\, Kalman made nearly 500 portraits.

His compositions often have very large percussion sections that in cluded the newest melodic percussion instruments of the day\, a practice t hat was often impractical in the first half of the twentieth century. But\ , in more recent times\, a trend has emerged: it is far more common for co mposers to write for expanded percussion sections in both wind band and o rchestral literature. \nIn many ways\, Grainger was either at the forefro nt of innovations in the percussive arts or vastly ahead of his time. Thi s tour will show artifacts related to both Percy’s music and the Grainge rs as performers\, and how it all relates to being a percussionist in the modern day.\nJoin us for this special tour! The event is part of the ongoi ng series\, Sunday Tours of the Percy Grainger Home & Studio. It is free a nd open to the public. Due to space limitations\, registration is request ed.\nPercy Grainger occupied the house at 7 Cromwell Place from 1921 until his death in 1961\, using it as his home base for his world tours\, prac tice studio and laboratory for his avant-garde musical compositions and ex perimental music machines. This historic house\, built in 1893\, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in April of 1993.

Registration encouraged\ , walk-ins welcome until we reach capacity. \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residen ce Michelle Zarco for an evening of music\, in partnership with Musicambi a.   \nThis concert will be the premiere of a new set of original music by flutist\, singer and songwriter Michelle Zarco\, written and arranged during her residency at Bethany Arts Community. The 50 minute program w ill be performed with a small chamber music ensemble\, followed by a 15-2 0 minute Q&A with the artists.  \nMichelle will be joined by a guest al umni from Musicambia for 2 to 3 songs of their own\, arranged by Michel le. \nA NOTE FROM MICHELLE\nFor most of my career\, I’ve supported oth er people’s artistic work—as a teaching artist\, session musician\, so ngwriter\, an artist manager for seven years\, and now as a career and bra nd consultant. It always felt safest and easiest to stay on the sidelines of artistic work\, channeling my own creativity through someone else\, wit hout the personal risk of being seen. \nThis is in part because choosing m usic as a career can be a double-edged sword. The pressure of making it yo ur livelihood can sap the joy and nourishment it’s supposed to give yo u as an artist. Teaching songwriting workshops in prisons through Musicam bia is what changed that for me. Watching students write and perform th eir own songs\, often for the first time\, and seeing deep wells of passio n\, creativity\, courage and resilience\, broke through the fog and pushed me to start cultivating and writing my own music again. \nThis concert is the result. These songs are personal and reflective\, influenced by my fa vorite artists in R&B\, soul\, and world music\, and arranged for a small chamber ensemble that reflects my classical training. It feels fitting tha t this residency and concert are a culmination of this shift in my artisti c practice\, presented in partnership with Musicambia\, with one of their alumni joining me on stage. \nABOUT MUSICAMBIA\nMusicambia (“music” + “change”) helps people in prison and jail write\, play\, and perform music\, cultivating collaborative communities that benefit the health an d well-being of everyone involved. Musicambia’s Flagship Program\, whi ch began at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 2014\, meets biweekly fro m September to June. Thirty incarcerated participants attend morning and a fternoon classes for 4 hours\, fostering teamwork\, empathy\, and a sense of responsibility to themselves as well as to their fellow students. Musi cambia also has programs at Bedford Hills\, Fishkill\, and Eastern Correc tional Facilities in New York\, and in Kansas and California. Musicambia  annually reaches 140 incarcerated participants\, as well as audiences of over 200 incarcerated people for concerts. Previously\, the organization worked in Indiana and South Carolina: all told\, Musicambia has create d programs in 12 different facilities.  \nMusicambia’s Teaching Artist s hold positions in the Attacca Quartet and Imani Winds\, and have taught at Juilliard\, Curtis\, Princeton\, and Peabody. They have won GRAMMY awa rds\, and collaborated with Pulitzer- Prize winners and pop-stars like Prince. Their musical backgrounds span Western classical\, jazz\, hip-hop\ , and popular genres\, as well as Indian classical ragas.  \nLearn more a bout Musicambia here: https://www.musicambia.org/  \nABOUT MICHELLE\nM ichelle is a classically trained flutist based in NYC\, with a musical pra ctice spanning classical\, world\, and pop idioms. She also sings\, plays piano\, and percussion. In 2024 she founded Orchestra Elena\, whose debut performance at Brooklyn Bridge Park was broadcast live on WNYC. She teache s music and songwriting inside correctional facilities through Musicambia\ , and draws on seven years in classical artist management at Colbert Artis ts Management to advise musicians on branding and career strategy\, most r ecently as the selected consulting artist for Chamber Music America’s En semble Forward grant.

Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T000559Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Food Truck Event DTSTART:20261010T150000Z DTEND:20261010T190000Z DTSTAMP:20260811T020055Z UID:2435@ryebrookny.gov CATEGORIES:food LAST-MODIFIED:20260811T020055Z LOCATION:Pine Ridge Park\, 17 Mohegan Lane\, Rye Brook\, NY\, 10573\, Unit ed States URL:https://ryebrookny.gov/event/food-truck-event-2/?utm_source=caldiscove ry&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Home X-SOURCE-URL:https://ryebrookny.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What’s It Like for You to Be an American? — Robert Kalman DTSTART:20261010T150000Z DTEND:20261010T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260910T120050Z UID:206483@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\nPhotographs by Ro bert KalmanSeptember 15 – October 11\, 2026\nChroma Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\, a solo ex hibition by photographer Robert Kalman\, on view September 15 through Octo ber 11\, 2026.\nFollowing the events of January 6\, 2021\, Kalman began tr aveling across the country asking people a seemingly simple question: “W hat’s it like for you to be an American?” Each participant sat for a f ormal portrait made with an 8×10 large-format camera and was invited to w rite their answer on a single notebook page.\nTraveling approximately 20\, 000 miles across the country\, Kalman made nearly 500 portraits.

Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260913T061716Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What’s It Like for You to Be an American? — Robert Kalman DTSTART:20261011T150000Z DTEND:20261011T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260910T120050Z UID:206484@artswestchester.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\nPhotographs by Ro bert KalmanSeptember 15 – October 11\, 2026\nChroma Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present What’s It Like for You to Be an American?\, a solo ex hibition by photographer Robert Kalman\, on view September 15 through Octo ber 11\, 2026.\nFollowing the events of January 6\, 2021\, Kalman began tr aveling across the country asking people a seemingly simple question: “W hat’s it like for you to be an American?” Each participant sat for a f ormal portrait made with an 8×10 large-format camera and was invited to w rite their answer on a single notebook page.\nTraveling approximately 20\, 000 miles across the country\, Kalman made nearly 500 portraits.

The film opens on a simple truth: motherhood in America is impossible by desi gn. Work ends at 6\, but school pickup is at 3. Child care costs more than a paycheck. Some moms are back at work two weeks after giving birth. Moms aren't broken. The system is. So why hasn't it changed? Because every tim e mothers get close to fixing it\, someone hands them a culture war instea d. Tradwife versus girlboss. Working mom versus stay-at-home mom. It's the same fight on repeat since the 1950s\, just in new costumes. And it works \, because the worst thing you can accuse a woman of is being a bad mother . So moms take the bait. They spend their energy defending their choices i nstead of demanding better ones. And while they fight each other\, nothing changes. No Country for Mothers traces that struggle through American his tory and travels the country to hear from the moms actually living it. Mos t don't want to milk a cow or hustle past their kids' bedtimes. They're ju st trying to get through the week without a sick kid or a broken car blowi ng up the budget.

Visit the sho p at 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, NY Monday through Saturday from Sept ember 15 through October 17 to view and purchase the work including mugs\, plates\, and tableware. The work will also be available online.\nArtist B io\nBreana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California a nd received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop personal and cultural narrative throug h sculpted still-lifes and utilitarian form. She has worked as an educator and Resident Artist in association with a variety of arts organizations a nd crafts schools within the United States and was recently selected as on e of Ceramic Monthly’s 2026 Emerging Artists. Breana is currently making and working amongst the Beartooth Mountains of Red Lodge\, MT in associat ion with the Red Lodge Clay Center as their new Programs Coordinator.\nArt ist Statement\nBreana’s practice fixates on ceramics as active participa nts in routine and ritual\, as conduits for introspection\, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. She reflects most on the intimacy of utilitarian objects\, the crooked charm of the handbuilt form\, and the p reservation of perfect imperfection where the hand disrupts and distorts. Through the celebratory practice of adornment\, Breana embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture\, color\, and imagery\, ut ilizing pattern\, print\, and iconography in dialogue with form. Sculpted still-life and vessel alike\, her objects embody personal reflections on m emory\, identity\, and space influenced most by her multicultural roots an d the landscapes she calls home.Learn more: https://www.clayartcenter.org/ events-at-clayartcenter/2026/6/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-artist-bre ana-ferreira LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T182341Z LOCATION:Clay Art Center\, 40 Beech Street\, Port Chester\, New York\, 105 73\, United States URL:https://artswestchester.org/events/hispanic-heritage-month-featured-ar tist-breana-ferreira/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign= white-plains-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Virtual Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://artswestchester.org/programs/jazzfest-whiteplains END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Bethany Kids CREATE Saturdays - October 17 DTSTART:20261017T140000Z DTEND:20261017T163000Z DTSTAMP:20260817T052043Z UID:10001536-1792231200-1792240200@bethanyarts.org CATEGORIES:arts,family DESCRIPTION:Bethany Kids CREATE Saturdays\nDATES & TIMES: \nAll Saturdays are 10AM-12:30PM\nSeptember 19\, 26\, October 10\, 17\, 24\, Novembe r 7\, 14\, December 5\, 12\, 19\, 2026  \nAGES: 3-7 Years Old\nAges 3-5 with Elizabeth\nAges 6-7 with Ruby \nInstructors Elizabeth and Ruby speci alize in their age group.

While poetry is not therapy\, it can offer healing by providing a framework for uncovering past trauma\, or painful experiences\, and reframing them in w ays that serve our self-knowing. About form\, Philip Metres has said that it can “open a space for us to surprise ourselves into revelation.” An d Muriel Rukeyser has said there are “two kinds of reaching in poetry\, one based on the document\, the evidence itself\; the other kind informed by the unverifiable fact\, as in sex\, dream\, the parts of life in which we dive deep.” All poetry is language channeled through the figurative\, imagery and metaphor. We’ll read and discuss sample poems that make exc eptional use of the figurative as well as forms and docupoetics to illustr ate the ways their writers have revealed\, and by extension\, perhaps heal ed themselves in the writing. And we’ll write poems from this place wher e we dive deep.\n \nThis is a 6-week class that meets on Zoom on October 26\, Nov. 2\, 9\, 16\, 30\, and Dec. 7.
